        How many times do we have to demonstrate trickle down economics is a myth?

        Tell me how you demonstrate lower taxes for businesses, when the taxes only ever go up. Taxes actually put companies out of business.

        That is why many American corporations have relocated to places like China because of lower taxes and lower worker wages.

        Yeah, sure. If you don't mind working for 2 dollars a day in a sweatshop, that's all well and good. There's a trade-off, this isn't absolute

        Such tactics to avoid taxation (well you can't really avoid much anyways)can cause significant damage to GDP

        What an idiotic opinion, no one is suggesting lower tax rates incentivize the creation of companies; they incentivize capital investment...

        they may start a company with little thought to tax planning - but it quickly becomes so important they do what @Apple's done to avoid taxes

        That's like saying companies never come to fruition without taxing from the gov. 😂companies never go out of business when being taxed either

        Great read. Recommended for @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SenateDems @SenateMajLdr @SpeakerRyan. #trickledowneconomics failed to spur new growth under @RonaldReagan. Why not learn from US tax policy failures instead repeating them? Sponsor #TaxReform that benefits the 99%

        But many may not start a business at all if taxes are too high and make being profitable too difficult or cost uncompetitive.
